I hope so too. We are in a very preliminary stage, obviously.

(1) Re necessity: well, if a question was answered satisfactorily at Math.SE, then it probably shouldn't be duplicated here. (2) Re sealioning: yes, it does include that case. The Victorian lady in the comic strip "started it". Just generally speaking: leaving an uninterrupted series of questions/comments, as you were doing there and now here, can be annoying to the recipient. It isn't necessarily sealioning, but it can be wearisome. Again, people are busy; they may have neither time nor enough interest to respond to a bunch of comments clustered together.

Not really my area, but I'd hope (and sort of suspect) this type of question would be okay. "Research level" is a vague and crappy description, largely to keep out interlopers who are not serious or not in the business of mathematics. "Competent" from the standpoint of people at or above PhD students grappling with questions that arise in the path of serious study is more like it. (People taking overly seriously "research level", like "cutting edge", may be a problem here.) I'd say: give it a go.

LSpice: Yes, correct, all is above board here, nothing hidden has been divulged.

@Lucia No, not exactly. Discussions about the next moderator election are still ongoing.

Yes, there have been similar shenanigans in the past (over a year ago). Thanks for bringing this to attention, Wojowu.

[Let's please not worry about the upvotes (which have now been mentioned three times, not counting this comment). Unless there's some suspected sockpuppetry (and there isn't), there's really nothing we can do about it. Maybe some upvoter will come by and explain.] -- C.F.G., that line had nothing to do with my assessment that it's okay here. I think Per explained it best in his opening comment.

The moderators are in agreement to have a moderator election.

@Catija, thanks very much for the offer. A user flagged to say that your comment could look "spammy" to some users -- our community is very international and might not get the "Hiya!" and "y'all" or other American colloquialisms. (Please take this as a usage note and nothing more.)

If this question came up in research and the researcher (who is a professional) didn't know how to answer it, then there's a priori a good chance it qualifies. I see nothing wrong with it.
